Above and beyond service, best Safari ever and I have been on many!
Firstly I want to say that I am in tourism myself. I have a camp in the Sahara Desert and I work with desert and tour drivers. I am born and bread in Africa although British. I wanted my children to come and see where their mother grew up. This trip was very important to me. I wanted an authentic, comfortable experience. Bernard worked through my wishes and changes bending over backwards for us. We booked last minute in the end (1 week before arriving) due to work and visa constraints.
I cannot fault this Safari. Even in the hotel, we had the best family suite, in the tented lodge we had the best tent with a complete view of the Masai Mara, it was breath-taking. Both accommodation were superb. The most important aspect of the trip was our driver in the Masai - John, he had 30 years experience in tracking and was a conservation and ecologist. Daily educating us and my 11 year old son who got such an education from him. We saw more animals than any people at our camp or I dare say with drivers less experienced from very expensive luxury camps, as we witnessed, sadly the disrespect of many drivers. John was a rare diamond.
We never had to wait to be collected along the itinerary, Bernard the owner came to meet us on arrival and give us gifts.
I contact several safari agencies claiming to be exceptional and fast with response. They were not or they wanted to chat and it became laborious with them before I started. Bernard went straight onto whatsapp with me and sent itineraries which I could respond to quickly. He always found solutions quickly and efficiently, it was a joy to deal with him. I'm way to busy for laborious selling. What sets Kudu apart is that you are looked after by the boss, with huge experience. Mara Engai Lodge was great, tents in the jungle with guards to walk with you. Stunning views and the nicest staff I have ever met.
We then went onto Amboseli as I wanted to see the tuskers. As we enter there was 'Craig' we knew we had been lucky, Tawi lodge that we arrived at could not believe it. We love Tawi lodge too, really special, our bathroom had a bath view of Kilimanjaro! They had a swimming pool next to a watering hole, when the kids were swimming an elephant walked up! I told Jack our second driver that we were here just for the elephants, he then changed his plan, enlisting a Masai Guide called David. We then collected David and had a private view with Craig and we were able to get so incredibly close to this giant tusker as he trusted the guide.
We had a really wonderful time I could not fault it, even the staff on the small aircraft were so incredibly lovely and professional. In Nairobi I took the children to the Elephant orphanage, Kudu even helped me organise this, even though it wasnt part of our itinerary. They also helped me with my Tanzanian visas, if they hadnt stepped in Im not sure we would have been able to spend our last week in Zanzibar which I had booked independently. They really went above expectation helping us even though it wasnt part of our package. Will definatly use them again and so should you!

Outstanding service once again
I had traveled with Bernard from Kudu hills previously so it was a very easy decision to use them again, and as before it was a great outcome.
We had a safari to the Masai mara that was an unbelievable experience, and then they helped us set up a trek over the remote Loita hills, which was simply out of this world.
As before, Bernard and the team went above and beyond to ensure that we had an amazing safari, and I'll be using them when I next return to Kenya.
Huge thanks to the team at Kudu!

Amazing
Masai Mara was amazing with Kudu Safaris, our driver/guide called James, was the best. He really knows the park, he took us to the best places to see animals and I think this is so important when you are looking for a agent to go. We saw the whole wild animals there.
Thank you so much/ Asante Sana/ Muchas gracias !!!!

Kudu Safari made our 2 day trip to Amboseli a great experience that we will never forget
We had a great 2-day experience in Amboseli and Juma was an excellent driver and guide. Also, the Serena Amboseli Hotel was perfect to stay and relax. We certainly recommend the Kudu way. Thank you very much.

Very detail oriented and everything was smooth and well planned
The plan for the trip was clearly communicated in written form. Various options were given based on price... the hotel proposed was really great with super tasty cuisines.... service was also very personal and the safari guide very knowledgeable about the animals and the park in general. Iwould definitely recommend Kudu safaris for a stress free holiday experience
